Interior of St Andrew's church, Thongsbridge
For the outside of the church, see
Image This is the inside, looking liturgical west (geographically south-west).
The church was built in 1877 as a chapel of ease. A school was added in 1891. There was a burial ground opened in 1938 but it was never used for burials and was sold in 1988.
Note: the building was closed for worship in 2013 and sold to a private owner in 2020 (after this photo was taken) with planning permission for residential conversion, so is no longer publicly accessible. This view shows it as it had been as a place of worship.
